Trailer stolen from lay-by

Police are appealing for information after an articulated trailer was stolen from a layby on the southbound A449 between Usk and the M4.

The trailer was stolen from the layby sometime between 4pm on Friday and 8.15pm on bank holiday. The driver had released the air from the trailer’s system after parking it so anybody removing it would have been on site for some time to refill the system with air.

The trailer, which was carrying scrap metal bails, is described as a blue Kraker, high-sided, walking floor trailer. It is equipped with a tail lift and has an identification plate bearing LAN95 on the front.

Did you see anything suspicious in the area at the time or have you seen the trailer since? Please contact Gwent Police with any information, quoting log number 513 of 27/5/19. Alternatively, you can send them a direct message. You can also report information anonymously via Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.
